In the language of the Eternal Town I will, at last, find adequate words to thank her for loving me so lavishly."Author: Harold Ivan Smith

"There's nothing on TV."Author: Jayde Scott

The cold simmer of the lake also, blue; the steady skating of rails too, down to the dark."Author: Saul Bellow

Today's Quote

When I opened my eyes I saw nothing but the pool of nocturnal sky, for I was lying on my back with out-stretched arms, face to face with that hatchery of stars.
